Problems with my ACEPC AK2
Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2023 9:13 am
I have an ACE PC.
Model: AK2 RAM 8GB ROM:128 GB
Serial No: A2E0BT843961
My problem: Windows 10 froze and I had to reboot the machine, I now just get the following message on start up:
'Reboot and select proper boot device
or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key'
This happened a couple of months ago, I got no response from ACEPC support, so I did a temporary fix by booting up from a Linux (Mint) USB drive.
I've been running it like this for a few months, works but not ideal (it sometimes freezes, I have to reboot and of course lose all logon IDs).
Anyway, I suspected the internal SSD is faulty, so I bought a new Kingston 120 GB SSD.
I installed the new drive in the space under the lid, but what I cannot figure out is how to change the boot priority so that I can boot from this new working drive.
